you Americans have … what?
What’s next? Asbestos in your toilet paper?
That’s the main reason Putin invests all that money into Trump and other far right party campaigns. As long the NATO plays the hunger game against him he and his country will choke on that bite.

Part of being a developer is solving your problems and reduce complexity in a very complex field. So I guess when you want to be a good dev, most of that is part of your learning experience.
To your skills. I may suggest do what you like to do. Wanna tinker with Linux and systems? C/C++ or Rust may be a good start. Webdev? Have a look at typescript. Or just do some stuff in python (it’s really fun)
If you do not know what you like. No problem, just play around with stuff and find out what you like.
If you get stuck on something, THEN is moment to reach out for help. You hardly will have to pay for advice, there is always a helpful hand if you can describe what your problem is.
